Kate Withers

.. an artist living a great nomadic lifestyle .. warm deserts in the winter .. mountains or the high Colorado Plateau in the summer .. spent many years exploring and working seasonally in the majestic National Parks of the West.Trained in drawing and painting at an early age .. then continued with an art education degree and further study with master artists.Primarily a landscape painter .. many oil studies are painted plein-air [on location] while on extended camping expeditions in the vast American outback .. the clear light and vivid colors are so enticing .. one is compelled to linger and observe.By contrast .. large studio paintings tend to focus on attempts at revealing the elusive underlying archetypes .. any visual reference is just a point of departure. With an abiding interest in universal patterns and stylized design .. these paintings are explorations of another kind.Why Paint ?One of the many benefits from this life-long pursuit is 'learning to see' .. how increasing beautiful the world becomes .. that in itself is reason enough to train the eye. Nature opens from close observation and contemplation .. unexpected colors catch the eye .. a subtle communication evolves .. and always there is a delight in the play of light and joy of being .. a deep love.Thanks for visiting .. and your support of the arts :)
